Service display
The engine oil life system lets you
know when to change the engine oil
and filter. Based on driving
conditions, the interval at which an
engine oil and filter change will be
indicated can vary considerably.
Instruments and controls107In the Uplevel-Combi-Display, the
remaining oil life duration is displayed
in the Vehicle Information Menu .
In the Midlevel-Display, the remaining
engine oil life duration is displayed by
control indicator I, therefore the
ignition must be switched on, with the engine not running.
The menu and function can be
selected via the buttons on the turn
signal lever.
To display the remaining engine oil life duration:
Press MENU to select the Vehicle
Information Menu .
Turn the adjuster wheel to select

The system must be reset every time
the engine oil is changed, to allow
proper functionality. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Press SET/CLR to reset. Therefore
the ignition must be switched on, with the engine not running.
When the system has calculated that

and filter changed by a workshop
within one week or 300 miles
(whichever occurs first).
